“At that time those in fear of Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance began to be written up before him for those in fear of Jehovah and for those thinking upon his name.” —Malachi 3:16

Jehovah’s Witnesses represent individuals
from all walks of life around the world who
have voluntarily left the churches of Christendom,
Judaism, Islam, and virtually all other religions,
despite the sometimes intense criticism from friends
and family or even physical persecution
(often the influence of religious leaders)
because we are lovers of truth.
Jesus Christ prophesied about and commanded
his congregation (church) to preach the
“good news of the Kingdom in all the inhabited
earth for a witness to all the nations” (Matt. 24:14, 28:19)
Jehovah’s Witnesses are an army of over 7,000,000
tried and tested pillars of spiritual fortitude,
spending over 1,000,000,000 (billion) hours
per year canvasing with a unified message
regarding The Good News Of The Kingdom
as Christ commanded his TRUE followers to do.
The reason so many others have been relegated to
“drive-by comments” on the internet directed
at Jehovah’s Witnesses, is because the apostate
“Church” has never, or will ever implement a means
for them to preach the “Good News Of The Kingdom”
in a united & dignified, way as Christ’s followers did,
and continue to do today.
There is a storm approaching the likes of which this world has ever nor will ever experience again.
In light of how critical the times are,
there offers itself no other right course
than for all to repent, while there is still time,
and return to the “Shepherd of your souls”.
This is a permanent reply,
the only one you will get from
Jehovah’s Witness News.

this scripture was used in one of the Talks ato ur circuit assembly at te weekend just gone. To safeguard our heart. just like we try to look after our real heart as much as possible. to avoid heart desiese, our figrative heart, also needs looking after, so we dont get spiritual heart desiese.

Friday, February 5, 2010
Do you remember when you first learned about the wonderful prospect that Jehovah offers to obedient mankind? If you formerly practiced another religion, how did you feel when God’s purposes were explained to you in the light of Scripture or when teachings that were once difficult to understand were clarified? Perhaps you realized that you had been misled. But how you rejoice now that you have been enlightened! If you were raised by Christian parents, do you recall how you felt when you became convinced that what you were learning about Jehovah was the truth and you decided to live in harmony with it? (Rom. 12:2) Many of your spiritual brothers will tell you that they felt elated, close to Jehovah, and grateful that he had drawn them. (John 6:44) Their happiness moved them to share in Christian activities. They were so full of joy that they wanted to share what they felt with everyone. Did you have a similar experience? w08 6/15 4:1, 2

Like many people today, Solomon tried to find satisfaction by pursuing a life of pleasure. Where did he search for pleasure? According to Ecclesiastes chapter 2, he ‘cheered his flesh with wine’—at the same time maintaining self-control—and pursued such activities as landscaping, designing palaces, listening to music, and enjoying good food. Does the Bible condemn having a good time with friends? Not at all. Solomon notes, for instance, that enjoying a meal in a relaxed atmosphere after a hard day’s work is a gift of God. (Eccl. 2:24; 3:12, 13) Moreover, Jehovah himself invites young ones to ‘rejoice and let their heart do them good’ in a responsible way. (Eccl. 11:9) We need relaxation and wholesome entertainment. (Compare Mark 6:31.) However, recreation should not become the primary purpose of our life.—Eccl. 2:10, 11. w08 4/15 5:5, 6
i was listeneing to a radio station in London the U.K and they were saying that we need to join our army with the French, Germans and all the other European countries and become the European Armed Forces interesting heh, oh and you will never guess who is coming to visit England the Pope :-(( booo,
Great site thank you so much,
Thanks to everyone who took time out to answer my question, this question was put to me by my group leader at my Kingdom Hall, my answer was that the Jewish people’s race is Jewish but he said no, i was puzzled because i thought Jesus is known as a Jew so i figured their race is Jewish, i will go to him with your answers and let you know what he say’s thank you again, love you all ((((( Hugs ))))) agape :-))
Sammy Davis Jr. was an African American…before he became a Jew…???
• Race: Hebrew (All descendants of Abraham, Issac, & Jacob— Israelite (Direct descendant of Jacob)
• Language: Hebrew
• Jew: (Short for the tribe of Judah, applying only to those AFTER the exile, including proselytes, because the northern ten tribe nation (Israel) was destroyed, and no longer existed)
YES IT IS A RACE….
Adam and Eve’s second son, Abel, was the first on Paul’s list. Enoch and Noah are also mentioned from the time before the Flood. (Hebrews 11:4, 5, 7) Prominent is Abraham, (the ancestor of the Jewish race). Abraham, who is called “Jehovah’s friend,” became the forefather of Jesus, “the faithful and true witness.”—James 2:23; Revelation 3:14.

*** w95 11/1 p. 12 par. 9 Saved From a “Wicked Generation” ***
“That which has been begotten, a family; . . . successive members of a genealogy . . . or of a race of people . . . or of the whole multitude of men living at the same time, Matt. 24:34; Mark 13:30; Luke 1:48; 21:32; Phil. 2:15, and especially of those of the Jewish race living at the same period.” (W. E. Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words)
“That which has been begotten, men of the same stock, a family; . . . the whole multitude of men living at the same time: Mt. xxiv. 34; Mk. xiii. 30; Lk. i. 48 . . . used esp[ecially] of the Jewish race living at one and the same period.”—J. H. Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament.
It seems there are varying opinions as to whether Jews are a race. As we have noted there are those on who feel if you don’t practice the religion you are not Jewish, or that only one Jewish parent means you are not a Jew or that once a Jew always a Jew, so at this point I guess it is just a matter of opinion. Since we have never seen Jewish listed on any documents as a race, my family has always just used Caucasian. But we can certainly appreciate the viewpoint as to why someone might be feel Jews are a race. The Insight Book has a short bit of interesting reading on the subject too.
I think one thing we might agree on is that they as a group of people no longer have Jehovah’s favor. Interesting though that some Chrisitan religions do feel that Jews are still God’s chosen people. My dad was one such person before his death.
Good night friends!
The word Jew is shortened form of Judaism which is what their religion is. They were also known as Israelites, That was their Nationality back then. But cos they are so spread out now it depends on where they were born etc.

Why did the onetime persecutor Saul embrace the faith of his victims? To Timothy, Paul wrote: “I was shown mercy [so] that by means of me as the foremost case Christ Jesus might demonstrate all his long-suffering for a sample of those who are going to rest their faith on him for everlasting life.” (1 Tim. 1:16) Jehovah forgave Paul, and receiving such undeserved kindness and mercy moved him to show love to others by preaching the good news to them. Jehovah likewise forgives our sins and mistakes. (Ps. 103:8-14) Without God’s mercy, none of us would have the joy of sacred service, nor could we look forward to receiving everlasting life. God’s undeserved kindness has been great toward all of us. Like Paul, therefore, we should desire to extend love to others by preaching to them and teaching them the truth and by strengthening our fellow believers.—Acts 14:21-23. w08 5/15 5:12, 13
Being Jewish is not a race!!! My father was of the Jewish faith, but because my mom was not Jewish, I am not considered a Jew, where the families are concerned…maybe that is why my Jewish step mother kept me a secret, from her family, for my ENTIRE LIFE and my father just went along with it~~
Here is a a little tidbit to think about;
Africa is the last continent to start “using” the phrase ‘peace and security’. They even declared 2010 the Year of Peace! Just something to think about. Let us all continue to keep on the watch.

To attain and maintain strong faith, a Christian must keep meditating on the precious truths found in God’s Word. “The faithful and discreet slave” has provided many fine publications that are designed to help us get to know Christ better and thus be in a position to imitate him. (Matt. 24:45-47) Prayer is another aid in building strong faith. Jesus’ followers once pleaded with him: “Give us more faith.” We can humbly beg God to do the same. (Luke 17:5) To that end, we should pray for the help of God’s holy spirit; faith is one aspect of “the fruitage of the spirit.” (Gal. 5:22) Further, obeying God’s commands strengthens our faith. For instance, having an increased share in the preaching work will likely produce in us a deep happiness. And as we reflect on the blessings that come from “seeking first the kingdom and [God’s] righteousness,” our faith will grow.—Matt. 6:33. w08 6/15 2:10, 11
In answer to the question of what Race are Jewish people I asked my husband as he was born into a Jewish family. First we considered a definition from the web: “The term race or racial group usually refers to the categorization of humans into populations or groups on the basis of various sets of heritable characteristics. The physical features commonly seen as indicating race are salient visual traits such as skin color, cranial or facial features and hair texture.” An example of race would be how Japanese Americans are classified. Even if they were 3rd generation Americans, if all parentage was full blood Japanese they would be Americans in current nationality, Japanese in historical nationality but based on most catagorizations their race would be classified as Asian. If they had mixed parentage they could be a multiple classification such as Asian/Caucasion. Race, as often requested on school applications in the US, usually falls into catagories such as Caucasian, American Indian, African American, Hispanic etc. So with this type of classification Jews are not a race but rather fall into one of the tradtional races with most Jews falling into the Caucasion (or European) catagory. So although my husband’s family was originally from Russia that would only be his historical nationality his race would be Caucasion.
With that said it is a quandry to totally classify Jewish people though because some believe they are indeed their own race as they can have some similar physical facial characteristics notable only to Jewish people and genetic disorders including Tay-Sachs disease which effects primarily only people of Jewish descent. Some say being Jewish means being part of a religion and since ANYONE can convert to Judaism, being a Jew would not mean a person is part of a race. Then again many people of Jewish descent are not practicing the Jewish faith at all but they are still considered Jews. Confused yet??? This discussion has come up in our home before. My husband and daughter are Witnesses but they will always carry the label of Jew because it does not just refer to the religion…we were told that if you are born a Jew you are always a Jew regardless whether you pracice the religion or not. It is not a joke and I mean no disrespect but I have often said if Hitler were around today my Jewish, JW family would be in big trouble.
So after all this being said my husband does not feel Jews are a race but they are not just a religion either. I guess they are a conundrum.
congratulations!!!!!!

In this illustration, Jesus referred to the normal process of making bread. The housewife deliberately added the leaven, and the results were positive. The leaven was hidden in the mass of flour. Thus, the leavening process was hidden from the view of the housewife. Spiritual growth too is unseen to human eyes, and it is also pervasive. In the illustration, the leaven ferments the whole mass, all “three large measures of flour.” (Luke 13:21) Like leaven, the Kingdom-preaching work that has prompted the spiritual growth has expanded to the point that the Kingdom is now being preached “to the most distant part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8; Matt. 24:14) What a wonderful privilege it is to be part of this amazing expansion of the Kingdom work! w08 7/15 4:9, 13, 14
i thought this might be interesting
Psalm 34:8 tells us ”Taste and see that Jehovah is good, O YOU people;
Happy is the able-bodied man that takes refuge in him”
I was trying to work out what ‘Tasting’ Jehovah could mean.
I looked up in a dictionary about taste and i saw this definition.
To perceive or distinguish the flavor of:
a. to examine by touch; feel.
b. to test or try.
So when we do our personal study, when we get to know Jehovah Really He should become so real to us that we can almost taste him. That when we pray we Know he is there and not just believe he is there. Does that make sense?
Our relationship with God is not about being religious. But actually Being Friends with God. In effect by Tasting Jehovah we almost see him in the sense we KNOW HE is real and will help US HIS Friends!!!!
I just want to let you know that I am officially engaged to be married! I will sooon be able to progress much further in the truth. Yipee!
!!Congratulations Kelly! Keep up the good work.
“The Blessing in “No”
I asked God to take away my pride. God said “No. It is not for me
to take away, but for you to give it up.”
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, “No.
Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.”
I asked God to grant me patience. God said, “No. Patience is a
byproduct of tribulations; it isn’t granted, it is earned.”
I asked God to give me happiness. God said, “No. I give you
blessings, happiness is up to you.”
I asked God to spare me pain. God said, “No. You must grow on
your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.”
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, “No. I will
give you life so that you may enjoy all things.”
I asked God to help me love others, as much as He loves me. God
said, “…Ahhh, finally you have the idea!”

There are some great thoughts there.
Reminds me of
To illustrate: All of Jehovah’s creatures might be likened to clay vessels in a potter’s workshop whom Jehovah God, as the Potter, can and does mold as he pleases. But it is up to the individual piece of clay as a free moral agent and an intelligent creature to choose how he wants to react to Jehovah’s patterns and pressures, either submitting to Jehovah and righteousness, or resisting Jehovah and hardening himself in wickedness. But once the creature has manifested his attitude, Jehovah may, can and does at times mold that one further and further, either toward honorable service or toward dishonorable use, as suits Jehovah’s sovereign will and purposes.

Please can someone tell me what race are the Jewish people thank you,
Yes,of Noahs three sons.Shem, Ham and Japheth. Shem had decendant. Eber was his name
Yes. Noah had three sons. One whose nam was Shem. One of his decandants was named Eber. Gen.10:21. Came to be called Hebrew. Juda was one of the sons of Jacob who was blessed by his father. Became the tribe of Juda.Gen:49:8,9,10. Of the 12 tribes of Israel. The nation of Israel.
It depends on where they are born but i believe around jerusalem areas they are known as Isralis I think. I know Jewinsh isnt their nationality but their religion. so i guess u get british Jews etc
they are not a race, but a faith/religion
